| Didn't take pictures of the process but repaired the drawer slide mechanisms for both drawers. One of them need to be bent straight. All of them needed adjusting of the stop mechanisms (a bent spring) so that the drawers open fully but don't come out. Also cleaned the slides and applied grease on the tracks. This picture is after all the work and the drawers were put back on. Now the box is complete. |
 |
| The more I look at it, the more I think that the box needs to be repainted... |
 |
| The bottom drawer. Now opens fully and stops. With the cleaning & lubing of the slides, the drawer operates OK now. |
 |
| Top drawer, fully open. |
 |
| The bottom flange below the drawers lines up with the drawer fronts and the lid/lock properly now. |
 |
| This is with the lid closed and the lock turned to the locked position. Now the lock turns with some resistance as the tab contact the lower flange & is very secure when it's locked. |
 |
| The paint from the top of the lid was mostly removed (in a previous post). The box is pretty much ready for some rust primer & a coat of wrinkle finish black paint... |
